What Does Advocacy Mean for Me??
A first step in 'being involved in advocacy' can simply mean - staying informed!
check out this site for up-to-date information about legislative issues that are important to you as a health care provider and child advocate!
We ARE advocates for children! We should be involved! Consider helping your legislators and the public to understand these talking-points about nurse practitioners:
• Nurse Practitioners are highly qualified health care providers who undergo rigorous educational preparation that enables them to diagnose and treat acute and chronic illness as well as provide preventive care to their patients.
• Nurse Practitioners provide expert health care for infants, children, and adults in a wide range of settings such as hospitals, primary care clinics, schools, community health centers, workplaces, and homes.
• Nurse Practitioners provide high quality, cost effective, patient-centered and personalized health care
